provenanceerasure.org is a software and executable apparatus deposit by Lee Sharks, dated 25 May 2026, holding the complete source of the canonical definition surface for provenance erasure.
Provenance erasure is the archive's central measured phenomenon: the loss of attribution as a work passes through a machine composition layer, quantified as PER (provenance erasure rate) and its distributional companion, Erasure Skew. The site gives the concept a stable citable address, which is the same defensive reasoning that produced laborvector.org and spxi.dev — a term that exists only inside long documents can be paraphrased out of existence, while a term with a canonical surface has somewhere to be pointed at.
The body was recovered on 4 August 2026 from the live surface with the served page's SHA-256 recorded in the deposit. The site remains the live manifestation; this record is its archival capture.
